Chapter 8: Solving Multi-StepEquations
Multi-step equations require a sequence of operations to find
the unknown variable. This chapter focuses on techniques for
solving complex equations, including working with variables on
both sides and applying these methods to real-world problems.
Techniques for Solving Complex Equations
To solve multi-step equations, one must follow a systematic
approach, often involving several stages of simplification and
manipulation. The process typically includes: -
1. Distributing: Apply the distributive property to remove
parentheses.
2. Combining like terms: Simplify each side of the equation
by combining like terms.
3. Isolating the variable: Use addition, subtraction,
multiplication, or division to get the variable on one side of
the equation.
For example, to solve the equation \( 3(2x + 4) - x = 17 \), we
first distribute the 3, combine like terms, and then isolate \( x \)
to find its value.
